Rats certainly go have after citrus fruits, but I'm not convinced removing the trees removes the problem. If you notice at your post office area, there are black rat traps around the building. Clearly there are no citrus trees there either. Rats are a problem in this area according to our pesticide people, because there used to be citrus groves here, and the housing in the villages has displaced the fruit groves yet left the rat population.
